U right

I was born in the 90’s so Im going off the Addidas track jacket stereotype:DenzelWhatever:

Those paid in full cats wore Gucci and other designers

- some feel they don't have anything to "dress up" for
- some think it's uncomfortable

These are my reasons. Dress clothes are uncomfortable in hot weather... Winter I don't have anywhere to go to show off my dress clothes cause my jacket is on.

 

[The ADD]

Cause I want to wear what the fukk I want to.

Most people are into leisure wear now

Because the culture is changed, for the better if you ask me. It just doesn't make sense for you to be wearing a full suit while you shopping at a supermarket. Wearing a suit everywhere you go kind of takes away from the purpose of wearing a suit to begin with.

 

[I Really Mean It]

The spirit of rebellion that swept the nation during the 60s left many feeling liberated from the suffocating expectation to conform to what were increasingly viewed as outdated norms which reflected a past that a significant number of people in our society sought to sever ties with. Civil Rights, feminism, opposition to the war, the AIDS crisis and its convergence with a franker discussion of gays in our society, and orher countercultural developments encouraged a more liberal concept of fashion.

The term "dressing up" is speaking in contrast regarding normal dress in your current daily life...

Era's change...

It's like asking, "why don't we play 8-bit Nintendos everyday like we used to 30+ years ago.

We have options, choices, and we evolve. Nothing is right or wrong, just different versions of our simulation.

Laziness. Who really wants to press shirts, take suits to the dry cleaners and polish their shoes?

Also hip hop culture has taken over and made it cool to wear clothes that don't fit and are faddish.

But for those of us who do dress, the fact that no one does it anymore, makes us stand out and look even better.

When I'm out in my suit and tie, and polished oxford shoes, the response from people is crazy. I have people walking up to me just to tell me hi, and others asking me if I'm hiring people... But even when I'm dressed down in shorts, and still looking sharp, people respond positively. That just shows how sloppy the average American man dresses today.

I throw on some double monk straps, jeans, and a button up and people ask me where I'm going all dressed up.

Men have to start dressing like men again, a lot of grown ass men have the same fashion sense that they had in middle school.

Are you kidding me?


I forget sometimes that half you little guys are under 30+

i don't know why people keep mentioning hip hop culture. no one in society dresses in suits as every day wear anymore regardless of race and people stopped doing so before hip hop existed.
